I already know I don't need it.
Problem is, I want it and can (temporarily) afford to pay for it.
Shipped from Germany so import taxes etc. aren't an issue - nor is postage.
Ordering it from sbflashlights would hurt in import taxes/VAT/PO ransom fee.
I'd prefer the ST6 over the SD6 as it comes with a diffuser and 460 lumens of pure flood is probably excessive.
But as Oscar Wilde said, "Nothing succeeds like excess"
Oops they have the ST6 for the same money.
buy st6 nw! like now
my friend has it and it's the nicest headlamp i've had in my hands (and on my head)
I was afraid of that sort of reply. To be honest, the headlamp that gets used most is the Zebralight at about 10 lumens.
At my age - 0.5 lumens is basically useless. I used to be able to read with 3 lumens but these days my arms need to be longer and I need 10-20 lumens to read in bed.
But i fear unless someone gives me a very good reason soon, there will be a Spark headlamp arriving from Germany.
Well, if you prefer the ST6 and they are the same money then by all means go with the ST6 over the SD6.
If you want a reason NOT to get it just think of the other lights you could get with that same $100. Like a Skyray King or a TR-J12.
HKE should have a few listed on eBay at $99 with a "Best Offer" option. see if they'll send you one for $90.
Didn't find one on an eBay.co.uk search. Problem is: if shipped from outside the EU it could cost a lot in taxes etc. The UKBA (spit!) have got a lot more zealous in revenue raising (and confiscating "not allowed" stuff such as any assisted opening knife - even if it has a 30mm blade) lately.
It could easily add 30% to the price. Hence the wish to buy it within the EU.
I like the SD form factor way the heck more than the ST, but that's because my stupid bright headtorches are for running, and I'd fear that the ST sticking out so far would be floppy.
But, and it might be unanswerable, what do you want 460 floody neutral lumens for?
@ Don
Do you really read in bed with a headlamp on?
That's what I'e been asking myself.
Till I found out they also sold the ST at the same price.
I already own two pure flood headlamps - a Zebralight H50 and an UF-H3. The Ultrafire is brighter but gets used less.
I am on record here as asking why anyone would want a silly bright headlamp. But I do live with a very large and black dog. And spotting her in the dark needs lumens - and a bit of throw.
When you have one hand on her lead and need two hands for the poop bags, extra hands to hold a light aren't available. Illumination of what you are picking up is vital. Unless you wash your hands every five seconds. And the officially approved hand washing sequence here (I work in a hospital) takes 45-90 seconds on a good day. People come and check I'm doing it right every few months...
have you looked at the zebra h600? I like it more then my st6 and its cheaper
Yes.
In a place that I spend much of my free time in. It has no electricity for much of the winter. The place is about 50 miles due west of where I live and the conditions there can get a bit extreme. By UK standards. As in it is smile up a dirt track from the most often blocked by snow road in the UK (A939 Cockbridge-Tomintoul road)
The power can't be trusted from October-April. There, my preference is not to bother with the light switches - which only got fitted when I was 30 - been spending a lot of time there since I was 7. And I'm 51 now...
At home, where I've lived since 1990 there have been two (or maybe three - can't remember) outages. The total time was less than half an hour and one of them was 25 minutes when someone got careless with a backhoe. Unfortunately I was rebuilding a database at the time...
Did my best to talk myself out of it.
Expect a review soon after it arrives. With that sort of lumens, it won't be on the usual test range.
Ah I see, I thought you were talking about at home.
Not really the same thing but my bathroom light keeps blowing over and over with in minutes of putting in a new one, the land lord wont fix it.
Now when its night time I'll usually just tail stand a flashlight in there while I shower.
You can’t have too many headlamps 
Even if my head isn't big enough!
I agree.....
Do it!
I did..
Looks like you get to add another one on your head. (Actually I should have posted this pic when you first asked to talk you out of it and said it was proof you didn't need anymore.)
